CENTRAL. OR LOCALp

When a train leaves st. Clairsyille at
6:36, what is the sense In the railroad
authorities advertising in the st. CIairs-
vile papers that it leaves at o'clock !?
The public recognizes the right of rail-
road people to use st. Lous time, or Yo'
kahsma time. for that matter, on the
schedules given their train men to run
upon. but what possible justification
can there be for advertising that far
away time in local newspapers, for the
information of the public, and to the
annoyance of everybody Not day
but all persons who mix with the gem
ersl public are met with the questions,
what tue does this or that train leave ?
central, or local?
People should not and will not agree
to go to bed nor eat their meals by st.
Louis time, and there is no excuse nor
justification for the attempt of the rail-
roads to compel them to set their clocks
by that time, or, whenever required to
take a car ride. be compelled to go with
a mental calculation in order to deter
mine the leaving time of the train.
Down at Bellaire. for example, the rail-
road clocks are just exactly one hour
behind the clock at the Benwood station,
so that, adopting the arbitrary and alb
surd time fixed by the railroads, Ben
wood and Bellaire men, comparing
l.
though living within gnn-shot of one
another. The latter. having crossed the
river in train for Wheeling looking at
his watch, finds his train has been gone
just one hour, or the former. crossing
over to Bellaire on train for Barnes
vile, examining his time-piece, finds he
has to wait one hour.
The whole thing is unscientific and
absurd. The time given the public in
local advertisements should be local

A railroad should be above such q
lying trick as advertising that Talmage
would be at the MOundsville camp
meeting when no arrangements of the
kind whatever had been made. Who
more or less than dirty liar.
We desire to make short rejoinder to
a late article in the Gazette by Patron"
of Uniontown. We never said in the
Enterprise or anywhere else that the
post Office at Uniontown was white
elephant on the hands of its postmaster.
A remark of that kind was made in
reference to the postoffice at 3annock,
but it had no reference whatever to the
one at Uniontown. Friend Patron"
evidently can't read straight. Again,
we do not think we ever made the
assertion that the Uniontown postmas-
ter lived "a mile from the office" As
we remember it, we remarked that each
postmaster (the one at Bannock and the
one at UnioDtown) lived "about a mile
from the Office" Anyone who knows
anything about where they live will say
that our statement was true. The dis
tance from the Uniontown postoffice to
the residence of its postmaster may not
be exactly one mile, but it is so near it
that man would be perfectly justified
In saying that it is "about mile." Any
way, it don't make any great difference
where he lives; but when friend Pats
ron" quotes our language, we would be
pleased to have him quote it right.
The route is not arranged to the best
advantage, and it should be changed
We have clearly shown how It could be
better for all, and especially for Union
town herself. If she we're not so cross
fired. she could get her mail four hours
sooner than it now arrives.
The only plea they make that is of
any Importance, is one that should have
no force at all. They want hack line
to take them and their packages, and do
their errands to st. Clairsville. Now if
such an argument is valid, 1t should
have brought back our old through bus
line from Wheeling to Cambridge. That
line certainly was very many times
more important in carrying passengers
and freight, than is our present short
line. But the argument is of no account
The object of the U. S. mail lines is to
carry the mail. Any other object is en-.
tirely secondary and should have little
or no effect in making up the schedules
for the routes. If UDiontown wants to
go to st. Clairsville. let her get there
the best way she eau.
1t Is not right for place like Union
town to have so much Importance mere.
ly because it happens to be one of the
termini. T. +.
